Lord Lucan Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Workington should read 2 home 7 away so far mate, we've not even been that busy at home this season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 8 home matches still to race. This might, of course, prove critical as every home match not concluded by 9th September will effectively count as 3 home points lost in this table. Surely rival promoters wouldn't stoop so low as to be awkward in arranging outstanding fixtures at Derwent Park in order to deprive the current leaders of these points, would they ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullduggery, subterfuge, just not playing the game...nah, this is speedway populated by honest folk whom would baulk at such innuendo TW!! Up to now tho someone somewhere is making life very difficult for us to achieve the necessary, we have, at this moment in time, no more Championship meetings to race until the beginning of August of which virtually all of our home meetings were for the Friday night's and are now having to be re-assessed for some other date's not yet forthcoming, so when we will actually start our home campaign is very much up in the air? Is this deliberate, an unfortunate coincidence or a combination of both, who knows but come September and we're fifth and still have 8 home meetings to fit in well....it could get messy!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Workington website still only shows dates for 4 of their 8 outstanding home fixtures. It's going to be tough fitting in all the Cup and League matches. How did the Workington promoters allow this to happen ? Surely they had an opportunity to comment on the draft fiixture list before it was finalised ?

Can't change it as your club has the controls but still can't get the results it wants.

In other news, somewhat coincidentally Mr Worrall is back from injury now, so Mr Godfrey doesn't need any guests. Although they are still showing on the calendar, I wouldn't be very confident of them going ahead. Despite severe difficulties in finding new dates (After all these were agreed at the START of the season) the team still are on course for the top 4. They even cancelled the KOC meeting from last week and still enforced the end of July cut-off date. Wonder what will happen if it's rained off on the 28th and cannot be staged before then.. Despite winning the away leg, those holding the controls may say it's decided on alphabetical order. Cannot see any evidence at all of the "Management Committee" trying to help our cause.. no wonder then that the conspiracy theorists may have a point LOL!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Only in Speedway could you virtually 1/2 the home fixture list for the season and they still struggle too fit them all in.Shambles.To make it worst not having weekly fixtures ia damaging attendances at most clubs IMO . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a body of persons that form the BSPA Committee & the promoters had a meeting the other week. 2 hours ago, Marksman said: In other news, somewhat coincidentally Mr Worrall is back from injury now, so Mr Godfrey doesn't need any guests. One man does not make a team & others are still injured but "expected" to return by end of the month. Mr Worrall has returned but will take a few meetings to get up to speed as proved with his races at Peterborough & Berwick. The rider missed most, as I have stated before, is Nielsen as r/r have not scored the points he was getting. Then again, neither have some of our guests.

No, but that one man acts like the Pied Piper, closely followed by his trusty fellow friends from nearby. FACT. Cannot come to any other conclusion I'm afraid. What vested interest would those fine upstanding citizens of the Committee have in destroying a previously agreed set of fixtures, and potentially Workington's whole existence as a club other than agreeing with the ringleader(s)?? Nothing was said when the fixtures were agreed and everyone thought that Workington were no-hopers. Now they have won a few meetings away from home, and certain clubs need a miracle to get in the top 4, the only way to stop Workington qualifying is to curtail their home meetings.
